Building Up The Fizz In Soda
Building Up The Fizz In Soda

Problem Statement
What is the effect of pressure on carbonation in soda?

Hypothesis
It is hypothesized that if you use big ice cubes then, more fizz will form.
Abstract
The problem was do ice cubes effect the pressure on carbonation in soda?
It was hypothesized that if you use bigger ice cubes, then more fizz will form in the soda.
The procedures followed was to rinse five ice cubes in cold water and put them all together so they are close and touching, more so that they could freeze into a clump. I had to do the same with a group of 4, 3, and 2 ice cubes. And put aside a single ice cube on a fifth plate. Then fill the glass 3-1/4 full with soda. Then I had to stand around and wait until the fizz die down, moreover drop one of the ice cubes into the cup and time how long it takes for the fizz to die down. I had to make sure to drop it from the same level as the surface of the glass. Record and repeat. It was concluded that the size of the ice cube didn’t determine the amount of fizz that can build up in soda because the ice is only pressure to the soda which exposes the carbonation in soda. I noticed while doing the experiment the soda had more fizz without the pressure of ice cubes and with the ice cubes instead of the fizz building up in soda it caused the fizz to die down. So therefore, the results of the experiment did not support the hypothesis.
Procedures
Rinse five ice cubes in cold water for a second or two
Cluster them together on a plate so they are all touching and place a plate in the freezer. They will freeze into a clump
Do the same with a group of four, three, and two ice cubes. Set a single ice cube aside on the fifth plate
Fill the glass three-quarters full with sod. Screw the top back on the soda tightly when finished
Wait until the fizz on the top of the soda has died down
Drop one of the ice cubes into the cup and time how long it takes for the fizz to die down. Make sure to drop it from the same level as the

    There are two basic methods for ice crystal formation in solutions of liquid foods as shown in Fig 2, according to Aider et al. (2009), The first method is suspension crystallization figure 3a; it is containing on an initial phase of nucleation, followed by a second phase that includes the growth of ice nuclei in the solution. The second method is the film crystallization of water that present in the solution in the form of an ice layer on a cold surface (Flesland, 1995).…

    The Mpemba Effect

    If you were to put 3 cups of water into each of the cups would that affect how long it would take for the water to freeze into ice.The experiment was first tested on and put into the newspapers in 1969.(Sharon, Mollerus,para 4,2014).If you change the type of the water and the type of the cup would that make a difference with how well it freezes and how fast it would freeze in negative temperatures. Before the mpemba effect was freezing water it was how fast sugar dissolved in milk.(Sharon,Mollerus,para 3,2014).I think that the shape of the cup could possibly affect the way the water freezes in the cup…

    The fastest way to cool a soda deals a lot with heat transfer. Heat is a measure of the average molecular motion of matter and can be transferred from one piece of matter to another in four different ways which are conduction, convection, evaporation, and radiation. (Tania Dakka) In the experiment the different levels of the independent variable include a cooler with ice, another with ice and water, one with water ice and salt, the refrigerator, and the freezer. Prior research has been done on this subject by Andrew Olson who has a Ph. D and tested with the refrigerator and freezer. From earlier researchers, facts show that in both the freezer and refrigerator, cold air is removing heat from the room-temperature soda can by convection. Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which results in transfer of heat. (Weather Questions) In this experiment, when immersing a can of soda in a cold liquid, it is okay to expect that a much greater number of molecular interactions would result and data would show whether the soda will cool off faster. In the experiment the dependent variable is the the temperature of the soda over different periods of time. We plan on taking the temperature (C ) of the soda in each of the different independent variables after 20 minutes, 40 minutes, and 60 minutes. Also, the salt in the salt water, lowers the freezing point of the water, allowing the ice in the ice bath to melt while still retaining its temperature.(Education) This makes the chilly water in the ice bath even colder. By conducting the experiment the heat should transfer from the soda to one of the levels of the independent variable and the data should help support convection in hope to learn which one is the fastest way to cool the soda.…
